Water soluble biodegradable polymer shelfish bait release

目前捕获的鱼被用作诱饵来捕获龙虾、螃蟹和海螺等盆栽猎物。这项研究将探讨使用高度创新的可生物降解和水溶性聚合物来包裹商业贝类行业的替代诱饵的可行性。如果可行，它将能够回收来自鱼类加工厂的鱼内脏和鱼架，以替代和保育鱼类种群。这项研究将探讨降低与鱼饵储存、船只燃料、延长盆式捕捞间隔和诱饵单位成本有关的运作成本的可行性。该项目将研究使用此类产品的环境风险、地区和当地的供应和分销以及潜在的市场接受度。这项研究还将讨论使用创新的可生物降解的水溶性聚合物容器作为释放机制的聚合物配方要求、设计和成本影响。

Fish are currently caught and used as bait to catch potted quarry such as lobster, crabs and whelks. This study will address the feasibility of using highly innovative biodegradable and water soluble polymers to encapsulate alterative bait for the commercial shellfish industry. If feasible, it will enable the recycling of fish offal and frames from fish processing plants to substitute and conserve fish stocks. This bait will be presented in an innovative format that will offer a cost effective alternative.This study will investigate the feasibility to reduce operating costs relating to bait storage, boat fuel, extending the pot fishing interval and bait unit cost. The project will study the environmental risks of using such products, regional and local supply and distribution and potential market acceptance. The study will also address the polymer formulation requirements, design and cost implications of using innovative biodegradable water soluble polymer containers as release mechanisms.
